Another European idea is rapid
lv finding favor on this side of the
Atlantic. Not only is it noticeable
in the homes of the rich, but in the
homes of the middle classes, and
even among the very poor. The
practice referred to is that OF paint
ing rather than carpeting floors.
The system has many advantages.
From sanitary standpoint it is to
be commended, if for no other
reason. Dirt and poison cannot
accumulate on well oiled or highly
polished floors. The comfort OF
those living in the house demands
that the floors shall be regularly
swept and mopped, carpets on the
other hanI merely sift the dust ana
dirt and hide it. In many new
apartments and private houses now
going up the contract calls for naru
floors oiled with boiled linseed OIL
By this means the floors are muci,
more easily cleaned, and as the OIL

the air during its incorporation

ceremonious as between the Prince

never turn their backs on him: and
their greeting courtesy is profound.

Chinese Natural Gas Traditi ons.

Two hundred years ago in China
there was just such Il craze about
natural gas as we have in this
country to-day, says the Cincinnati
c. numerical. Gas wells were sunk
with as much vim and vigor as the
Celestials were capable of, but, ow
ing to Il gas explosion that killed
millions of people and tore up and
destroyed Il large district of coun-
Try, leaving large inland sea
known on the maps as Lake Foo
Chang, the boring of any more gas
wells was then and there prohibited
10y law. 1t seems, according to the
Chinese history, that many large
and heavy-pressure gas wells were
sunk quite near TO each other. Gas
was lighted as soon as struck, us is
done in this country. 1t is stated
that one well with its usual pres
sure, 10y induction or back draugLt
pulled down into the earth II e
burning gas of smaller well, rt-
sulting in a dreadful explosion of a
large district, destroying the inhab-
itants thereof. Lake Foo Chang
rests on this district. The same ca
tastrophe is imminent in this cOun-
lrv unless the laws restrict further
developments in boring so many
wells. Should a sin,ilarexrl rlosion oc-
cur there will be such an upheaval as
will dwarf the most terrible earth
quakes ever known. The country
along the gas belt from Tole,lo,
through Ohio, Indiana and Kentuc-
ky will be ripped up to the depth of
1900 to 1900 feet, and Topped over
like a pancake. leaving chasm
through which the waters of Lake
Erie will come bowling down, fill
ing the Ohio and Mississippi val
leys, and blotting them out forever.

pened to mention that he could
run the fastest footrace of anybody

ovcrhear the remark, hurriedly
dried his tears. and promptly showed
up $40 that he couldn't. The course
was selected on Beacon street, from
Fifth street to the brewery, and the
sorrowing and grief-stricken wild
over easily beat Budd by about ten
Yards. Elder Hartshorn acted as
starter, and subsequently made
some pretty loud threats of licking
Mayor Price, who claimed that

She Could Pronounce It Anyhow.
Boston TRANSCRIPT.

The director of large girls
school in French Canada, which is
patronized by many American fam
lilies, has been spending part of
his vacation on this coast. He tells
story of a pert New England girl
the American girl in school, he
says, are just little inclined to
pertness-with whom she instruc-
tors had any amount of difficulty,
quite naturally, in getting her to
sound the letter r. When a letter
has been unpronounced for genera
tions, it comes hard to the young.
This New England girl had been
labored with for SD long a time
over the sound of the in French
words that she came to regard the
instructions in this particular as a
great bore, and when the director
himself took her in hand one day
and said. "Now. see here, Miss,
! want you To pronounce the for
me-" she put on look Of unutter-
able WEAKNESS.
Now, please pronounce for me
an English word he persisted"
that begins with an r, and be sure
you sound the letter
"R-r-r-r-r-rats !" exclaimed the
American girl, with snap in her
